When a cautiously optimistic Peter travels to Germany to meet the suave, charismatic, self-styled occultist and womaniser Matthias, why do his attempts to carry out her mysterious request lead to lifechanging outcomes for everyone involved? A Burning Matter of Completion is a novel about obsession and its destructive effects on each of the five principal characters. In essence it is a complex illustration of how individuals project themselves and deceive and manipulate one another.
